I am new to linux and I am looking forward to moving to it from windows, and I am having a really peculiar problem.I am using an Asus laptop, and in windows it had a thing called power4gear, in which I could select power plan. And one thing it did was up the GHz limit of processor, from 2.1 GHz to 3.1 GHz.CPU frequency scaling monitor and it lets me lower the clock speed, but not rise it above 2.2 GHz.

Is there anything, that can bring that functionality in linux?

EDIT: apparently power4gear is just a frontend, what I am looking for is Intel Turbo Boost.Is it always enabled or is it automatic?

If what you are looking for is some sort of overclocking utility, then I don't think there is one for Linux. I think I did a quick search last year and found nothing.

As far as Intel's turbo boost, I have this enabled by default in my UEFI, bios with my mobo and I can change that boost setting higher if I want to. You should be able to get those same settings you had in Windows, but you'd have to do it in the bios.
